#69. School Trip (8)

“Here it is, Hero Island.”

Lim Tae-hyun took a deep breath.

“Hmm, nothing different from land, right? Except for the smell of the sea.”

Gusulhwa answers that.

“There is a difference. There are so many heroes on a small island. Would it be dangerous for us to stay here too long?”

Hero Island, called the holy land of heroes, is a place where there are more heroes than ordinary people.

If we don’t care, there might come a situation where heroes all over the island are chasing us.

Gossip asked Lee Hye-seong.

“The escape route is certain, right?”

“Don’t worry.”

Gu Seol-hwa stretched out and stepped forward.

“If so…”

Within a short time, the new type of verbalization disappears.

Among the two abilities Gu Seolhwa had, it was the power of ‘high-speed movement’.

Lim Tae-hyun, who was watching the scene, asked Ji-hyeok Ji, who was next to him.

“But why doesn’t he use high-speed movement when fighting?”

“Your body is weak. They say if you hit it wrong, you’ll pass out.”

“What is it, glass body?”

Im Tae-hyeon’s eyes had a different color for a moment.

“Then I think it might be worth a try.”

“Stop talking nonsense and go away.”

When Lee Hye-seong, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, urged him, the remaining executives dispersed.

Lee Hye-seong thought as he watched them walk away.

‘Today will surely succeed.’

I have only failed so far.

I was helpless with the variable Lee Yu-hyeon created.

But this time it’s different. It’s because I put all the executives into the operation so that I can cope with any variable.

Never fail.

“Shall I go too?”

Hyeseong Lee activated her ability.

Strengthening the body, several times stronger than before, dwelled throughout the body.

This was the power obtained from the ‘forest’.

‘I’ll have to stop by again soon.’

Lee Hye-seong, smiling faintly at her satisfaction, leaped upward.

“Then…….”

Lands on a building, then jumps to another building.

Find Lee Yoo-hyeon as quickly as possible. Let’s just think about that for now.

An hour passed just like that.

“Damn it.”

Lee Hye-seong could not be found.

You must have already circled the island a long time ago, but where is it?

─Chijik.

Then.

─Uh Captain, can I contact you now?

Lim Tae-hyeon contacted me.

“What happened?”

─I’m at the stadium right now?

“…… Stadium? What do you mean?”

─Here today… What was that, the World’s Greatest Hero Tournament? It opens there it is

“What? Wait, why did you go there? Avoid places where I can be discovered…!”

─Hey, don’t be angry, let’s start by listening.

“·······.”

Hyeseong Lee tried to calm down.

“Tell me.”

I heard Lim Tae-hyun giggling over the walkie-talkie.

What is the fun?

It bothered me a little, but I persevered.

─He’s there. The guy the captain is looking for. Was it Lee Yoo-hyun? You think you’re going to a competition?

“…… Is it.”

Lee Yoo-hyeon participated in the competition.

It’s not a situation that I didn’t expect at all.

I’ve already confirmed that the travel schedule and the competition schedule overlap.

Rather, it is good news that Lee Yoo-hyun is participating.

It’s easier for Lim Tae-hyeon to approach Na-ra Seo or Ha-ra Jang.

─Huh? What is it, Nari Seo is also participating.

“What?”

─Hey, Jang Ha-ra is going out too?

“·······.”

Damn it, things got messed up.

“······New Yeo-eun? Is there a goddess there too?”

─I don’t think I can see it now, ah! There it is. Are you going to the bleachers?

“······That’s fortunate. Then, brainwash Shin Yeo-eun first. The rest are looking for the next opportunity.”

Lee Hye-seong gave the order.

If things don’t go well, it’s not bad to take only Shin Yeo-eun back.

Even if it’s regrettable, it’s a success if you just steal it.

─·······.

However, for some reason there was no reply from Lim Tae-hyun.

“Lim Tae-hyeon?”

─Hmm.

Instead, a voice sounded like he was thinking.

Anxious Lee Hye-seong called Lim Tae-hyeon again.

“Lim Taehyun, are you listening?”

─Captain, I’m sorry.

For some reason, Lim Tae-hyun seemed to be laughing.

Anxiety increased.

─I want to participate in the tournament too.

I doubted my ears for a moment.

What did this bastard just say?

─I’ll quit~

“Wait a minute. Lim Tae-hyun, Lim Tae-hyun?”

As if the radio had been cut off altogether, no sound was heard after that.

***

“The sea… Was very pretty…”

“You took a picture.”

“Nevertheless…”

Shin Yeo-eun, who could not enter the sea, expressed her displeasure.

“I wanted to wear a swimsuit.”

“Wear it on the return cruise. There’s a swimming pool there too.”

“They say they go by plane.”

“That’s right.”

Shin Yeo-eun let out a deep sigh.

It seems to be quite regrettable.

“Let’s go on vacation. Together.”

“Yes? Really?”

“Read it for yourself.”

“······Really.”

Shin Yeo-eun laughed.

She seemed to be in good spirits, so she was lucky.

“It takes a very long time, by the way.”

“Sure.”

This is the stadium where the tournament is held.

She has been waiting for an hour to participate in the preliminaries, but she rarely turns around.

“It’s free time at least, otherwise I would have been very dissatisfied.”

This competition is open to aspiring students.

However, all aspirants who wanted to participate had to take a simple test before the preliminary round.

It was under the pretext that an embarrassing situation could arise if anyone participated.

“Annoying…”

As I was about to become sleepy from her boredom, Nari Seo tapped my shoulder.

“Isn’t that what Yoohyeon called?”

Nari Seo pointed at her TV in front of her.

The number 135 was displayed on the screen.

The number matched the number tag I received.

“Yes.”

Then, more numbers came to my mind, and those were Seo Nari and Jang Hara’s numbers, respectively.

Seeing that it says ‘waiting’, it seems that they are not entering right away.

“I’ll bring Hara.”

After leaving Seo Nari for a while, I went to find Jang Hara.

Jang Ha-ra went out for a while, saying that there were too many people.

“Then I’ll go to the stands.”

“Okay, can you support us?”

“Of course.”

After breaking up with Shin Yeo-eun, I went outside the stadium.

Fortunately, Jang Ha-ra was immediately visible.

The problem was that I was in a bit of an awkward situation.

“What are those?”

The situation was easy to understand.

Some uninvited guests were flirting with Jang Ha-ra.

“Ah, don’t do that~ Aren’t you here to watch the competition too? Would you like to see us?”

“Oh, no…! I have a party…”

“Oh really? But I think we’d be better off with a pretty girl like you alone.”

It was a situation where I saw a lot of things.

It appeared often in novels.

Up to this point where the main character beats me up to his heart’s content was a ‘cliche’.

I bent my fingers and approached Jang Hara.

Then.

“Turn it off!”

Janghara shouted.

“f*ck! I hate you! Please shut up!!”

“What, what? Come on?”

A group of panicked men.

From noble mtl dot com

The problem is that I was also taken aback.

Oh my God.

What did I just hear?

“Ah, Hyun-ah Yoo!”

Jang Ha-ra, growling with a ferocious face, sees me and runs to me.

“Huh? Uh…. Hara.”

He was embraced by me.

I patted him on the back with a bewildered face.

When the men saw this scene, they muttered curses and went away.

“That, you just… ….”

“Huh?”

Jang Ha-ra looks up with a face that doesn’t know anything.

It was like an innocent puppy.

“·······.”

Is that a good thing?

Because I refused anyway.

In the past, I would have been dragged away by those men.

So this is a good change.

Perhaps.

“Nothing. It’s our turn now, so I’m here to pick you up.”

“Really? Then we have to go quickly!”

Jang Ha-ra took my hand and went back into the stadium.

As soon as I came in, the ‘waiting’ displayed on the screen changed to ‘admission’.

“I can go right away.”

I went straight to Nari Seo and entered the test room prepared by the association.

The test site was a square room.

The color of the walls and floor was different, probably because it was built with a different material from the outside.

In the center is a certain machine.

“Are you three, Yuhyeon Lee, Na-ri Seo, and Ha-ra Jang?”

A woman who appeared to be an examiner called our names.

I answered as a representative.

“Yes.”

“The content of the test is simple. Just hit this machine shown here as hard as you can.”

The examiner pointed to a large machine that had been bothering him for a while.

Looking back, it looked familiar.

Isn’t this the punch machine you used to measure your stamina?

I think it’s a better model since it’s bigger.

It was amazing to see a familiar machine.

I looked around the machine.

“…… Ha.”

But the examiner, who was staring at me, sighed.

“As I said beforehand, passing the test will not be easy. No one has ever passed.”

“·······Yes?”

“If you don’t care, you could get hurt. Because it’s not usually that hard. Why don’t you just give up?”

Why is this all of a sudden?

I was a little taken aback.

I asked while stopping Na-Ri Seo from running towards the examiner.

“Why are you suddenly quarreling?”

“Oh, it’s not a fight. Don’t get me wrong.”

The examiner’s eyes were clearly looking down on us.

Somehow, he seemed easygoing because he was an aspiring student, so he seemed to have a fight with him.

[ Observe your thoughts. ]

《How many more times do we have to do this? I’m tired of dealing with wannabes now. 》

The examiner’s head was tired.

Are you really stressed out because you have a lot of work?

…… But why are you f*cking with me?

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

“······Yes, let’s begin.”

The examiner took a step back.

“Who goes first?”

“Do it yourself.”

“Ah yes.”

You are filthy unkind.

Once I got annoyed, I asked the two of them.

“Who wants to go first? I want to do it last.”

The two looked at each other and pondered.

Soon, Jang Ha-ra stepped down first.

It was meant to yield the order.

Then Nari Seo stepped forward without hesitation.

“Huh?”

Wait, Nari Seo is the first?

······A good idea came to my mind.

“Nari.”

I approached Nari Seo and whispered something into her ear.

“Can I?”

“Of course not.”

“Okay. I’ll give it a try.”

Nari Seo nodded and opened the portal.

Watching that scene, I also stepped back.

Jang Ha-ra asked me about it.

“Yoohyeon, what did you say to Nari earlier?”

At that question, I smiled meaningfully.

“Oh, I didn’t say much.”

Fifteen portals, and a chain crawling out.

“Just…”

Soon, Nari Seo’s chains were fired all at once.

“I told you to destroy that.”

Kwaaang—!!

A deafening roar.

And.

“No, this is nonsense…”

The examiner’s astonished voice.

Fragments of the smashed punch machine rolled under my feet.

I picked up the fragment with a single smile.

“Oops, everything is broken.”

He showed the fragment to the examiner and said.

“What about this?”
